For Hanks, who was already generating multiple pilot offers this season, the role marks his follow-up to his Emmy-nominated supporting actor turn in FX anthology Fargo. His role as Gus Grimly also earned him a Golden Globe nomination. Repped by UTA, MGMT and Bloom Hergott, Hanks’ small-screen credits also include Dexter, The Good Guys and episodes of CBS’ Bad Teacher and Mom.
